🍓Elderberry Immunity Gummies That Taste Like Lollies (Toddler-Approved!)

When sniffle season hits, you’ll try anything to keep your little ones well.
And if you’ve got a toddler who turns their nose up at vitamins or syrups… these elderberry immunity gummies might just be your new best friend.

They’re naturally sweet, packed with antioxidants, and best of all — they taste like lollies (but with none of the junk).

🌿 Why elderberry?

Elderberries are known for their immune-supporting benefits — rich in vitamin C and flavonoids that can help reduce the severity and duration of colds. Paired with lemon, honey and herbal tea, these gummies are a winter wellness win.

🍇 Elderberry Immunity Gummy Recipe

You’ll need:

• 2 tbsp elderberry juice or syrup

• ¼ cup lemon cordial (homemade or store-bought – or swap for orange or apple juice)

• 1 tbsp honey

• 1 drop vanilla essence

• 1 fruity herbal teabag (like berry or super fruits)

• 2 tbsp gelatin powder (or veggie alternative)

To make:

1. Steep your teabag in ¼ cup hot water for a few minutes.

2. In a small saucepan, combine elderberry, cordial, honey, vanilla and the steeped tea.

3. Sprinkle in gelatin while whisking constantly until smooth.

4. Pour into silicone moulds or a small lined tray.

5. Set in the fridge for 1–2 hours until firm.

Cut into squares or pop from moulds, and store in an airtight container for up to a week.

👶 Why we love them for toddlers:

• Easy to chew (and fun to squish!)

• Sweet enough to feel like a treat

• A sneaky way to get immune-boosting ingredients into your child’s day

• No artificial colours, preservatives or added sugar
